CEO Mark Zuckerberg is ushering in a new year with an intensified focus on efficiency, particularly zeroing in on low-performing employees within the company. In an internal memo, managers have been informed about the framework for implementing performance-based job cuts, a strategy aimed at enhancing overall productivity and streamlining operations.
The memo outlines specific criteria for evaluating employee performance, emphasizing the need for managers to conduct thorough assessments.
